Two days after the city council's law committee recommended that the Good Neighbor Ordinance be initiated against Maria Sangria, an Old Market restaurant and bar, the city is starting to take the next step in the disciplinary process.

City officials tell KETV NewsWatch7 that a resolution was being drawn up Thursday morning to set a formal hearing at which the full City Council will decide if they want to cancel Maria Sangria's liquor license.

The resolution will be on the Council's July 30 agenda. If approved, the formal hearing would take place next month, officials said.

The city has said Maria Sangria -- near 11th and Farnam streets -- has had late-night fights and large crowds on the weekends, which is why the city began the process to possibly revoke or suspend its certificate of occupancy.

It's the first time the city's new Good Neighbor Ordinance has been put into motion.
